Finds the first parent directory that contains a given file or directory.

    npm install find-parent-dir

```js

// assuming this is called from a file in a subdirectory of /myprojects/foo which contains .git directory

var findParentDir = require('find-parent-dir');

findParentDir(__dirname, '.git', function (err, dir) {

  // has err if some file access error occurred

  console.log(dir); // => /myprojects/foo/

  

  // if parent dir wasn't found, dir is null

})

// Same using `sync` method

var dir;

try { 

  dir = findParentDir.sync(__dirname, '.git');

  console.log(dir); // => /myprojects/foo/

  // if parent dir wasn't found, dir is null

} catch(err) {

  console.error('error', err);
